File management between seasons?

[artsyAcademic]

Just wondering myself if y'all have a method of keeping your computer files in check between sessions. Y'know, due to the whole losing inventory thing. I've seen servers and file hosting abound, but I'd like to hear from you all.

If you have a computer in your core inventory (read: the stuff that is carried with you between sessions and besides fetch modus and a few cards plus strife specibi is normally not game abstractions) or embedded in your body (like people who don't keep their dongles on a bracelet for the rational and reasonable fear that someone will steal it by chopping off their arm and running away with it, or AIs whose carry-over computing cores are obviously computers too), Sburb is for once in hell not a dick and lets you keep it, and all computer files that are not Sburb equipment (client, server, gristtorrent, etc.) remain linked to your player profile in the process and thus carry over. If you can get a computer in this core inventory (i.e. buy one pre-entry and throw enough love and/or shinyfucking at it to keep it) or in your body (Sufficiently advanced host worlds or players, who can implant computers in people's brains for a living, could be quite useful for this) you can use your soul's horrific connections to the game that birthed you to extend your replay packet transfer to include that.

Or you could have a horrorterror recover it for you. Majjykal spells that rip files from decaying networks and shove them into Furthest Ring servers are quite common and even entry-level magicians or the basically Others-corrupt can do this shit without issue and I'm pretty sure Prototyping Towers has someone or something spamcasting that shit at all times on every single world it can find, which is where it gets the internets of several planets from. We're also the buggers hosting these servers up here so if you'd like to get space on one go right ahead.

Since crossing the border into replayerdom is instant and sessions take a few days to decay, if you can enter fast enough you can alchemize a broodfester translation dictionary (travel dictionary || squiddle or regular dictionary && or || various others-corrupted objects are usually valid alchemy recipes, if it doesn't help you understand us, going corrupt from it will lol), bolt for Derse, and with some quick invocations ask someone to recover your files for you, and since the spellcasting involved is just ridiculously basic, unless they want to manipulate you further or otherwise like/don't like you the price will usually be fairly cheap, cost you nothing important, or will even do it for free in rare cases. Get a hug and a feelings jam or two and you'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine*.

*probably not depending on how much corruption you obtained and how much destruction to yourself, others, and the game you have caused, this disclaimer brought to you by the church of the horrorterrors' mediumside honesty-in-contracting organization also squiddle treats and bribery

There are also some horrorterrors, sapient first guardians, original dancestors (players who would have been ridiculously prone to corruption tend to end up acquiring it even reflected scratchwise), Denizens (Yes, the Space denizens know this stuff. Echidna alone is literally covered in spellcasting tools those quills are no joke), SkaiaNet ancillary corporation moles, and even carapaces who like snooping through your shit like the fans we are and often cast this magic in order to share your discarded computing equipment's data with the world. It is quite possible worlds with the magic kind of wizards (yes, they are real, magic is fake as shit but shit just got real, who the hell do you think provides this stuff when Satan or fairy dragon whatever mythical beast equivalents are nonexistent or unhelpful and the Angels are just feathery dicks) or really high inherent Others disposition at points (Church of the Horrorterrors anybody? Any other prominent students of the eldritch close to the end?) have had people cast this during or depending on exiles and their reactions to spellbooks after the Reckoning to recover data, and depending on how much of the offending material was brought into the Medium and not promptly deleted from the Incipisphere by the Queens' Vaults and in fact made it to the end of the session it might end up being cast by game abstraction entities out of chance in those few days before game over post-victory.

Basically, if you don't have access to file hosting servers or do not trust them (or directly casting data upload magic) due to corruption problems from either you or them or us Others, either implant a non-alchemized computer connected to your brain into your body (be a cyborg for fun and profit) and rely on Sburb's playerwise computer synchronization (how other people use computers associated with someone else's dongle in all those threads with different writers), or go a little past Derse and request the assistance of your friendly neighborhood eldritch abominations drifting in the eternal dark flagella party bubble bath of corruption lubricated in black ichor and the blood and souls of the fallen that is the Furthest Ring from the periphery of Skaia's horrorterrors-gtfo-script that Derse has problems with being in the range of during eclipses. Or your session's space denizen if they're friendly and you had them before, whoever seems nicer (read: them).

I personally would recommend using any old trusted file server but for any reading this if the infrastructure regarding data storage servers in this community has disappeared with the replayers composing said community and providing said data, you may want to request the assistance of a horrorterror or game editing entity to create/purchase your own permanent server.

You can also use public-domain data upload spells that just shove it in any of the various Furthest Ring spatiotemporal internet node megaservers that interface with Skaian wifi and general Medium magical internet, but security on those is naturally very lax, easily cracked, does not exist, will give out the information to just anybody who asks, is prone to corruption, doesn't like you in particular, wants to expose all your secrets and privately uploaded data, wants you to be corrupted, or any combination of the above, so unless you like aliens and squiddles reading your digital (or in some cases of shooting things into the Furthest Ring to preserve them, physical) diaries and journals, please take caution with what you put there unless you want to get back a corrupted mess that ruined your reputation and exposed private facets of your personality.
